MOSCOW, 2 Mar. The agent of famous Russian NHL players Dan Milstein spoke about how the aggravation of the situation in Ukraine affected his clients.
"The discrimination and racism that Russians and Belarusians face is amazing. We are thrown back 30 years ago. My hockey players are called Nazis, they want to die. But they are people like you, who pay millions in taxes and do charity work. Stop looking at them as aggressors" — quotes the words of Milstein ESPN.
Previously, well-known North American hockey columnist Darren Draeger said that Milstein demanded that the union of players and NHL clubs provide his clients with additional security. Clients of Gold Star, which Milstein manages, are Nikita Kucherov, Andrey Vasilevsky, Mikhail Sergachev, Vladislav Gavrikov and other Russian players playing for NHL clubs.
